Jonathan Cheban (born February 21, 1974) is the founder of the website TheDishh.com and former CEO of CommandPR, a public relations firm. He also is noted for his friendship with socialite Kim Kardashian and appearances on her reality shows.
Cheban first gained public attention with his appearance on the reality show, Keeping Up with the Kardashians, appearing as a friend of the Kardashian sisters. He subsequently appeared in several episodes of the show's spin-offs, Kourtney and Kim Take New York, Kourtney and Kim Take Miami and Kourtney and Khloé Take The Hamptons.
In 2010, Cheban starred in his own reality show, the The Spin Crowd, chronicling the lives of Cheban, Huck and their employees at his firm. Cheban's vision for the show was to provide viewers with a glimpse into how the media-saturated world around them is shaped, stating, "I've seen shows about funeral homes, bounty hunters, hospitals, cops and fishermen, and they've all been given the opportunity to give insight on their jobs and the reality of their careers. Why not tell the story of what people care most about—the magazines, websites and press they surround themselves with every day?" The series was executive produced by Kim Kardashian. It was canceled after one season due to poor ratings.
Cheban's relationship with Kim Kardashian has remained in the public spotlight. In 2012, Cheban made a short video spoofing himself as someone living in the shadow of Kardashian's fame.
In 2008, Cheban launched his own clothing line, Kritik. Cheban also has designed jewelry for RichRocks. In late 2012, Cheban opened Sushi MiKasa, a restaurant in Miami. Cheban has also branched out into electronic media, and is a partner in the web site, EliteDaily.com.
On November 24, 2013, Cheban also co-hosted "Coca-Cola Red Carpet LIVE!," a pre-show to the 2013 American Music Awards. In January 2014, Cheban launched a new product called Glam Screen, which is both a protective cover for a smart phone, as well as an HD mirror.
In 2014, Cheban launched TheDishh, an entertainment and lifestyle website that features what Cheban and his team consider to be the highest quality foods, gadgets and entertainment.
In January 2015, it was announced that Cheban would be opening a restaurant called Burger Bandit, located in Lynbrook, Long Island.
In January 2016, Cheban entered the Celebrity Big Brother house in the UK, to compete as a housemate on its seventeenth season. He walked from the programme after spending six days in the house, due to too much arguing and pressure in the house.
